I hadn't even noticed the turtle. I agree that the contrast between metal and stone is nice, but I can't see the trellis as a metaphorical window when it's got a great big column in front of it. We shall have to agree to disagree. And I laughed out loud at your reaction! I hadn’t even noticed the turtle.

I had just the opposite reaction. I was immediately attracted to the column. I liked its sensuous curves. I also liked the trellis in front of the wall greenery. I like the contrast of texture, the formal look, and the way the trellis provides a focus, almost a window to an otherwise ordinary ivied wall. I don't think much of the two little pots or the cutesy turtle. I was admiring the last photo and then had to laugh out loud when I read your reaction to it. I had just the opposite reaction.

Great way to describe it. I think I should be more compulsive about deadheading the geraniums. Mine fizzle too. Great way to describe it.

I love container plantings, but they seem to fizzle out quickly for me. I'm looking forward to this topic so hopefully I can have them last through the summer. Great post!
